Apples were also dried.īelow, an apple butter pot probably similar to one Catherine would have used. Not to mention items like pies, but pies didn’t keep. James had a brass scales, stillyards and money scales in his estate inventory too, so it probably looked something like this.Īpples, however, were not made into whiskey, but into “cyder’ and sometimes hard cyder and things like applesauce and applebutter. James Crumley was a Quaker, but a still was listed in his estate inventory, so he would likely have used one of these as well.ĭirectly under the basket of the apple picker is a weighing system. Mash, for those who don’t know, is part of the whiskey making process. Since we’re on the subject, the item on the bottom is a mash stirrer. I had no idea what this was, being so long, but when they provided the answer – it seemed obvious.

The Museum of the Shenandoah, in Winchester, VA, provides a wonderful exhibit of farm implements of yesteryear, including an apple picker, right under the “What is it?” question, below.

However, this is not how James and Catherine would have harvested apples or what they would have done with them. This time of year, the apples are being harvested and there are semis taking the apples to be processed into yummy goodies that will provide people from all over the US with apple products until next year’s harvest. There are indeed apple orchards everyplace. When driving in Frederick County close to Apple Pie Ridge, how the Ridge obtained its name becomes immediately obvious. I checked the map, and sure enough, Apple Pie Ridge, where my Quaker ancestors, James Crumley and his wife, Catherine, lived, was right on the way home. I had been planning to make my way to Apple Pie Ridge for some time now, when an opportunity presented itself by way of a speaking engagement in Richmond, VA in the fall of 2015.
